Rocky Point Mexico

I was looking around the visitrockypoint.com site, a visitor site for the beautiful (based on pictures that have me wanting to go there) Rocky Point resort in Mexico. Rocky Point is known by the locals as Puerto Penasco. A relaxing 4 hour drive from Phoenix & Tucson, or 677 miles from San Deigo, Rocky Point is a resort filled with comfortable beachfront homes, new condos and modern Mexico hotels.

The VisitRockyPoint website has information on over a dozen restaraunts and bars including El Delfin Amigable (The Friendly Dolphin) which is located in the "Old Town" part of Rocky Point and serves fresh seafood - and dinner is often accompanied by the owner, Gaston Rochin, wandering the dining room singing at the customers tables at least once during the evening.

The Adobe Restaurant at the Sonoran Sun Resort is listed as a must see place for visitors, a large restarunt with an upstairs sports bar and food that is described as "great and very Mexicanesk!"

Be sure to take a look at all the things that are listed under "Rocky Point News" on the main page. From bathtub races to the Angler of the Year Tournament. There is also a great section on the left side of the page for you to start your planning that offers excellent information on everything from crossing the border to the history of Rocky Point with some things that little armchair-archiologist me just found absolutely fascinating (including some information on 'Kenniwick Man').

Other things you can find on their sidebar for planning your trip include tips for while you're there (including how to get roadside assistance for the price of parts), FAQ, and emergency contact information.
